If that "shut off switch" works like they think if does it would be nice to see some maybe gmo algae that can do the same thing at least on areas where the water isn't too acidic and has enough carbon disolved in it
Could also be cool as part of a desalination plant (which they mentioned could also be a calcium source for the limestone). Permanently sequester the carbon from the extracted ocean water.
